Displaying creative flair and cutting-edge design, models strut down the catwalk during Santa Monica College’s 27th annual "LA Mode 2011" at the California Market Center on Thursday, May 19, 2011. The fashion show spotlighted students cutting-edge designs in four categories – Contemporary Sportswear, Resort (Swimwear, Resort Dress, Tropical Mood), Evening Wear (Couture Image, Robe De Soirée, Shimmer Shine), and Office (Contemporary Mode, Simple Dress, Shirt & Blouse, Tailored Suits). One hundred and sixty garments were shown by the students. All attire was designed and created by SMC fashion students. A $300 prize was given to the "Best in Show" designer, and altogether, $1,700 in prizes was awarded. Judges came from all segments of Los Angeles’ thriving garment industry and this year included two former SMC students. SMC’s fashion design and merchandising program is a rapidly growing program that has sent students to work throughout the U.S. and the world. LA Mode 2011 was presented by Santa Monica College’s Department of Fashion.

Dragnet
A woman with her child walk past the newly installed vehicle safety nets at the Downtown Santa Monica Farmers-Market on Wednesday, May 18, 2011. These enhancements are features of an innovative traffic control plan designed by local engineering firm Crain and Associates specifically to prevent a repeat of the horrific 2003 accident which an elderly driver killed 10 people and seriously injured several others because he allegedly mistook his gas pedal for the brake. The nets are often used on the East Coast for highway construction/road safety projects.
